Re: Crunch/Overtime
Rob ... maybe the 'I like crunch' vs 'I don't like crunch' vs 'I don't mind crunch because pizza is provided' opinions (this is a very simplistic split but you see what I mean) can also be a very valuable data in your study huh? Also if you want 'cold' data I would suggest you provide a simple example bullet point list… -
Re: dds compression
Yep, you're going to find differences between DXT compressors, simply because they can be weighted in different ways. Even within a single tool sometimes you can specify different ways to weight the colors, depending on what you want (speed vs. accuracy, etc.). You can tell the NV Texture Tools compressor to take normal… -
Re: Texturing Lines on a Large Paved Area
I'm not sure I understand what the difference between method 1 (decals) and 3 (polygons) is? If you're going to be close, and it's not something simple, like a tiling line, use decals (polygons for the lines). Give them a chipped paint alpha, and lay them out however you like. Alternate methods I can think of: 1) 1 giant… -
Re: Cartoon "-Shading" in Doom3?
The syntax of the cartoon-shader I used looks like this: models/players/affe/affe_text_01 { { map models/players/affe/affe_text_01.tga rgbGen identity } { map models/players/affe/shade.tga blendfunc filter rgbGen identity tcGen environment } } The first texture (containing the models main colors and a black square for the… -
Re: Maya Menu layout
With the marking menus, you don't have to wait for the actual menu to appear, it uses directions, so just make a quick gesture in the right direction and you'll get that command. The mouse trail is for accessing sub menus, for instance to convert a selection to contained faces: hold Ctrl, rightklick and do a quick up >… -
Re: Maya- Control vertex colors with BlendShape
Sure and thanks for responding! I need to create a test asset for work that uses a blend shape to morph Vertex Color. So if the base mesh has vertex colors set to red, and I create a target shape mesh that contains blue vertex colors, I want to be able to drag the influence slider and see it transition between the two… -
Re: [3DSMAX] [SOLVED] Do Not Load any Bitmaps when Opening a Max File over Network
Thank you for the info! However, I have tried everything from the post but nothing helped. Bitmaps are still loading on max scene startup. We are using Max 2015 SP4. But one thing at least changed, the File Property dialog no longer contains list of used External Resources - bitmaps. Unfortunately, this is not helpful. I… -
Re: Art steps you hate in your Pipeline.
I would like a sort of 3d grid that holds common proportions for like, anything and everything. You making a bison, select it and the grid shows you where the head and ass should be. Giraffe, Forklift, Neanderthal... the more the merrier. Something more realistic in scope might be one that just holds common human… -

Re: Retopo / retopology / retopologize cables wires etc
@mmaaxx Thanks for posting that plugin, that looks like the ticket! As far as using the geo from the imm, thatls not really a good solution unless your imm is already really low poly. for something like these spiraling cables they contain far too many polys to give a warm and fuzzy feeling about sticking that on a…
